Introducing… Date Night in a Bag!
This Date Night Bag is a cinch to prep! (Ok, so even though it is a cinch, if you’re not ready to prep it quite yet, don’t lose this fabulous idea… PIN it!!) The first thing you need to do is grab a gift bag and glue the printable bag cover on the outside of the bag, designed by the fantastically talented Courtney of Paperelli! How cute is that cover?! She is a wizard! We’ve also included “His” and “Her” tags because – here’s the best part – you and your spouse are switching off who plans date night! Let’s say that I am the first one to use the date bag, I’m going to put all the ingredients to a fun date night inside, enjoy a fabulous night with my husband, then flip the tag over that says “His” and hand that bag over! Now it is Husband’s turn.
This bag is perfect for those nights when you want to have date night {ahem… EVERY night? 😉 } but it’s crunch time! As soon as it’s your turn with the bag, think of a date night idea to go inside of it. We’ve included a list of some of the Divas’ fave dates {hyperlinked in the PDF for your pleasure!}. We like the idea of having them “prepped” and in a baggie or manila envelope, but you can also PIN these ideas and use it as your go-to date night resource. That way you can choose which date and just put the supplies in your date bag! Some of the dates are at-home dates and others get you out on the town.
You can also go rogue and create your own content! My husband and I wanted to see the movie, Red. So I found it online, printed off a picture of the DVD cover to go in the bag, and bought a ton of red treats to go with the movie. Voila, our date night in a bag was ready to go! Now, whenever we have a chance for a date night… we are SET. I am so excited to try out all of these dates—and how easy it is to toss a deck of cards in the bag and be ready to go?!
For those of you who like a little more planning, we included a calendar printable so you can decide which night you want to use Date Night in a Bag. Simply fill in the dates for the current year and mark which day you’re dating! {We marked ours with a heart… aawww!}
Dating your spouse doesn’t have to be a big event. It can be something that is simple and easy! This is a fast idea that will have lasting effects on your date night. SaveSave
